Temporal and seasonal trends of bovine tuberculosis in the Irish cattle population (2008–2024)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has substantial impacts on the Irish cattle industry. Between 2016 and 2024, its burden increased in Irish cattle. As an initial step towards understanding drivers of this increase, we explore long‐term trends in measures of bTB burden and cattle demographics in Ireland. Methods Using data from 2008 to 2024,

Deciphering diverse cell‐death patterns to predict the prognosis and potential therapy target of hepatocellular carcinoma patients

VIEW, EarlyView.
Abstract Ninety percent of all primary liver malignancies are hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), making liver cancer the third most common cause of cancer‐associated mortality. Different patterns of programmed cell death (PCD) are crucial for the survival of tumors, and they might serve as a prognostic marker for HCC.

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.
